mercyrobotBecause I hate myself or something, I signed up for ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
deancasbigbang. Which I knew was coming up when I finished Crossroads State. And the sensible thing to do, really, would have been to spend the next however-many months and change editing that until it was so perfect you could die. Plus, I would have maybe gotten art of Dean and Cas riding a dinosaur, which I really really want. XD But I knew spending that long with it still-not-technically-done would have made me insane. So here I am all HOW DO I IDEAS.
I COULD wait till the season finishes and see if there's anything I want to do with that, but I'm still super nervous about writing canon, especially long-form like that. And I'm nervous about waiting that long. I'm just nervous in general. I have a thing I started before 7.17 came out or we even knew much about it where there's a very creative (not) amnesia!waiter scenario in Ohio with mean ghosties. But ehhhh. And there's a girl!Dean thing that could easily go on for enough words but it's not very good and would very likely just get worse. Also these things are not really canon.
Or I could do another big ol' AU. But my ideas for one thus far have gone a little something like, "What if it's the 20s and Dean's in love with his valet? OH WAIT," and "OOH what if they visit a bunch of other universes and are together in all of them? OH WAIT" and "French Mistake but in reverse with Jensen and Misha hang on I didn't sign up for RPF" and at some point it degenerates into "uhhh, maybe someone's a photographer. AGAIN," and "HOLY SHIT SUPERSAINTS?!!?" and finally I'm just sitting there drunk and drooling all, "IDK college or sutin pfffff." I did have this one total ridic idea where it's indie coffee shop owner vs. Starbucks GM, and it would be so industry-accurate because The Boy is a WEALTH of information but nobody would GAF about all my meticulous research and probably be pissed at me for slagging off Starbucks. XD
tl;dr I am ridiculous and don't know what to write. *returns to gazing at navel*

Date: 2012-04-07 10:49 pm (UTC)Write them all? I actually have no idea how big bangs work but I know whatever you write will be gold/platinum/the precious metal of your choice. The Dean and Cas in love in many different universes has been done in The Mirror by Cloudy Jenn, but I'm sure you could put a spin on it.
20s sound nice because that means jazz and suits and maybe speakeasies? (pardon me as I generalize an entire decade). The indie coffee shop owner vs. Starbucks GM too, I always appreciate the research people put into their fics. I also loved Dean as a photographer, so if you decided to ever do more of that it wouldn't be a bad thing either. ;)
Anyways, good luck sorting through all those wonderful ideas!

Date: 2012-04-07 11:48 pm (UTC)I have indeed read The Mirror-- that was what the 'oh, wait' next to that idea was for, hahah. Although the thought I had was less genderswappy and more bunch-of-AUs. Which I guess would be kind of an excuse not to have to write 20,000 words of just one thing.
If I did photographer!Dean, it would probably be an entirely different universe, because I'm not sure if stuff that has other related things out there already is actually allowed.
Not that I'm any closer to deciding anything. :P
